I'm afraid that is part of the deal for having so much of the stuff for 
"free" (as in no purchase fee).

Android is free, a lot of good apps are free, and lots of services, even 
if you and I don't trust them, are free.

Not really reasonable to expect that to happen without some payback?

I wonder, if there was a "zero gather, zero ad" version of Android, how 
much it would actually cost? And given you get updates, it would 
probably be a year on year cost too.

Not as much as it gets me that if you pay for Sky sat TV in the UK, it's 
still full of ads. Not that I do - but I am amazed people tolerate this. 
And they complain about the BBC TV license fee!!

All fair enough - you still have a choice thanks to linux and *BSD :)
